Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has already weighed in on Zhilei Zhang’s skills following the Chinese boxer’s brutal victory over Deontay Wilder.

 Zhang’s star is on the ascent after his decisive knockout win against Wilder, a victory Fury has been aware of for some time. Despite being past the typical peak age for boxers, Zhang, now 41, is experiencing a career resurgence. His recent fifth-round knockout of the Bronze Bomber in Riyadh marks the pinnacle of his career so far.

This triumph has significantly expanded Zhang’s opportunities, with talks of a potential matchup against Anthony Joshua emerging. However, Daniel Dubois, the newly crowned interim IBF heavyweight champion, is also being considered for such bouts following his own impressive stoppage victory over Filip Hrgovic.
